Jet2-5
After the first batch of departures in the morning, there's not much going on until the inbounds appear, especially in the winter. I wouldn't have thought finding training slots is that difficult.

Possibly not. However, Leeds has got the worst runway in the world. Not somewhere you want to be trying your first landing in an 800.

why
Just reading about Circuit training , although now getting busier though mainly Cargo traffic seeing how Ryanair seem to be training at DSA, along with queasy jet , Would it not be a better option.
They handle up to the largest aircraft on the planet .
So anything Jet 2 Flies could be handled with ease.
Granted they'd end up being put on a stack out of the way whilst Wizzair or whomever comes in , but it would be the logical choice.
Whilst it is still relatively ' quiet'.
It has all the latest Navaids and unlike LBA or DTV isn't affected by WX very often .
( Or if it's the Runway length issue what about Huy, isn't that near enough LBA length ?).

Maybe "Atmsosphere Interwotsit" will base their circuit training there too.

Excuse my ignorance but that Airline wouldn't by any chance have a Harp on its tail run by a guy with a Target on his head ;-)?

Brings a whole new meaning to the Training Captain expression - "this will be a full stop."

So where will they expand or will these replace older frames ?
The last New B738 is due in January. This and the other 2nd hand's will help with expansion, mainly in MAN/BHX/STN i'd guess
